Hello Antonio, In the south of Sweden, near Atvidaberg, in a park surrounding Adelsnäs Manor, is an unique noon cannon dial with a calibre of 10.5 cm, constructed by C.E. Littmann, instrument maker to the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, about 1853. Members of "Solkanonklubben" still use the cannon. In 1990 Baron Gösta Adelswärd, Sweden wrote a small article in the bulletin of De Zonnewijzerkring. ( The Dutch Sundial Society ) I have seen a picture of this dial on the Internet, but I can't find it back. Fer de Vries, Netherlands. Lit. "Middagskott och Vattenmusik", Särtryck ur Dendrologförenigens Arsskrift "Lustgarden" 1987-1988.
